Buying notes

  • Buy Plum once your Grape or Pumpkin income can comfortably cover the 280-Shilling cost without draining your reinvestment fund.
  • Plum's repeat-harvest nature means you pay 280 once and earn 448 every cycle — the compounding value surpasses every Uncommon seed and Pumpkin within 2 harvests.
  • Compare against Mango Seed (320, Rare repeat) if you are close to affording the next tier — Mango's higher base value may justify waiting a cycle or two.
  • Plum nets 168 Shillings profit on the first harvest (448 minus 280). Break-even requires just 1 harvest with a 60% ROI — and every subsequent cycle adds 448 Shillings of pure income with zero replanting cost.

FAQs

Seed-page follow-up questions

Use the FAQ space for decision nuance and edge cases after the buying verdict is already clear.

Is Plum Seed worth buying?

Absolutely. Plum costs 280 Shillings and sells for 448 base with repeat harvests. The first harvest yields 168 Shillings profit (60% ROI), and every cycle after that is 448 Shillings of pure income. It breaks even on harvest one and outearns Grape by 188 Shillings per cycle.

Plum Seed vs Grape Seed — which is better?

Grape (170 Shillings, 260 sell, repeat) is cheaper upfront but earns 260 per cycle. Plum (280 Shillings, 448 sell, repeat) costs 110 more but earns 448 ongoing — a 72% per-cycle increase. Plum overtakes Grape's total earnings after just 2 cycles, making the Rare upgrade well worth the investment.

When should I upgrade from Plum to Mango Seed?

Upgrade once your balance exceeds 400 Shillings so you still have reinvestment funds after Mango's 320-Shilling purchase. If Mango is not in the current shop rotation, Plum is the clear best Rare repeater available. Let Plum's 448-per-cycle income fund your Mango savings passively.
